Slick packaging and easy ensemble-playing can't mask hoary 'gather round, I'm dying' formula.

Reviews for Simon
If you go to the movies to ogle topless young women, Simon is definitely for you. If, on the other hand, you want something more cerebral with your $10 ticket and overpriced snacks, stay clear of this Dutch melodrama.
The story of an unusual friendship, Simon tackles weighty social issues with quiet intelligence and low-key charm.
Eddy Terstall's film is bipolar and ultimately wrenching, but it works if you let it.
